Andy and Scott. Not Controversial

For their Christmas Special, Andy and Scott find themselves in the majestic—and slightly foreboding—Glencoe. Within that dramatic landscape, they tackle the season's big questions: the origins of our Christmas traditions and, much more importantly, the undeniable merits of wrapping bacon around a small sausage. It’s a festive special only they could deliver.www.flashfictions.com

Andy treated Scott to a day he won’t forget at The Mound, in this favourite of our valued listeners, a classic plane spotting location near Prestwick Airport. For once, Scott is genuinely excited about something other than himself, while Andy shares his extensive expertise on not knowing very much about aviation. Join the boys as they find a way to get completely random, all without ever really leaving the topic of planeswww.flashfictions.com

This week, it's the much requested repeat of the when the boys eventually stumbled into Chatelherault Country Park, though certainly not thanks to Scott and his unique understanding of how road signs and sat navs actually work. It also did not help that Andy kept pointing in a certain direction, only to be completely ignored.Once they finally arrived, they learned a few proper facts about the park, and Andy took the opportunity to remind everyone that, every week, you are all sitting beside greatness. Whether that’s true or not is up for debate. As always, expect the usual random tangents and humble brilliance you love.So come along for the ride, or at least what was left of it after the navigational chaos.www.flashfictions.com

Join us as we revisit an outing where our Scottish explorers boldly ventured a whole five minutes further than usual, landing themselves in the Campsie Hills where they accidentally uncovered more history than they bargained for. Armed with questionable expertise and unwavering confidence, they attempted to piece together the past while mostly just admiring the scenery. If you’ve ever wanted a casually informative ramble that’s equal parts curiosity and confusion, this remains the closest thing we’ve got to an educational outing. Consider it a history lesson, minus the pressure to actually learn anything.www.flashfictions.com

Relive the legendary quest where our intrepid explorers embarked on their boldest mission: getting coffee. Spoiler: they failed. You can blame car parks, fate, and the universe’s cruel sense of humour for this masterclass in "daring-don't" at Mugdock Park. If you're after heroic tales of triumph, this might still be the one for you—honest! So settle in and enjoy this fan-favourite tale of the noble struggle against everyday life, complete with bonus complaining.www.flashfictions.com

Back by popular demand! Andy and Scott's legendary trip to Moffat returns for an ENCORE. Relive the hilarious tales of daring "don't" and the "maybe, kind of factual" history of that rainy Scottish town you loved the first time around.www.flashfictions.com

It’s our Season 2 finale!For this special 20th episode, our boys head east to the beautiful Portobello. Do they mark the occasion with a flawlessly researched, deeply insightful historical tour?Well… let’s just say their fact-checking technique remains distinctly flexible. Will they weave a rich tapestry of local lore, or will you just hear the gentle sound of a Wikipedia page being read aloud? There’s only one way to find out.Join us for one last dose of seaside charm, questionable expertise, and the heartfelt chaos that’s made this season so much fun. Thanks for listening!www.flashfictions.com

After Bannockburn, our boys set their sights on Stirling Castle… and decided the best view was from the car park.Between the admission cost and a sudden, deep appreciation for external architecture, they concluded that the real history was outside all along. So they did what they do best: they improvised.Join them for a budget-friendly tour of Stirling’s finest views, a mandatory visit to the gift shop, and a conversation that somehow stumbles into being genuinely interesting. Maybe.It’s another chapter in their ongoing series: “Appreciating Scotland’s Heritage… From A Distance.”www.flashfictions.com

This week's episode begins with a dramatic pre-battle: Scott, locked in a heroic struggle with his coat zip, desperately trying to free his car keys. It sets the tone beautifully for what follows.Once we finally get into the car, our historians-in-training take on a famous Scottish battle. Armed with good intentions and patchy research, they attempt to pay proper respect to a pivotal moment in history.The result? Let's call it a... creative interpretation of events. Between the factual fumbles and respectful stumbles, it's a history lesson like no other.If you like your storytelling full of heart, humour, and very modern struggles, you’re in the right place.www.flashfictions.com

This week, our daring duo bring their unique brand of cultural tourism to Johnstone town centre.Fresh from a truly satisfactory weekly coffee, they set up their mobile broadcasting unit (the van) right outside the library, ready to drink in the local history.And by "drink in," we of course mean "sit in the van while the rain hammers down."Scott, for once, was more than happy to let Andy's professional driving do the talking, which mostly involved not moving and complaining about the weather. Expect the usual deep dive into Johnstone's past, a review of their caffeine intake, and the soothing sounds of yet another Scottish downpour.It’s another high-stakes, low-dryness adventure.www.flashfictions.com

This week, our intrepid explorers aimed high – literally.Their mission was simple: stand at a point where four historic Scottish counties meet (Renfrewshire, Lanarkshire, Ayrshire, and Dunbartonshire) and take in the breathtaking views.The reality? They took in the breathtaking rain.So, once again, the adventure unfolded from the trusted confines of the van. Expect the usual blend of half-remembered facts, confidently delivered speculation, and the soothing sound of windscreen wipers on full blast.Oh, and stick around until the end… because things get almost controversial. You won’t want to miss it.www.flashfictions.com

This week, our lazy adventurers have truly excelled themselves by actually managing to find Strathclyde Park with minimal difficulty. Yes, you read that right – they didn’t get lost. Look forward to one whole factual nugget (they’re getting weirdly good at this one fact per episode thing), another of Scott’s stories that absolutely doesn’t impress Andy (okay, maybe a little), and the usual completely unrelated movie chat. This time: Jaws. Because obviously.www.flashfictions.com

Our intrepid hosts found themselves and their gear truly put to the test in a rain drenched trip to Troon. Forced to record from the van, they faced their greatest foe yet: the Scottish weather. Scott’s decidedly average tech may have met a soggy fate, threatening the very future of the podcast and disappointing our many, tens of fans. Will the equipment survive? Will the show go on? Tune in for damp drama, van based banter and the kind of audio quality only a waterlogged microphone can provide.www.flashfictions.com

In this exciting season opener, we finally discover just how much Scott really knows about Kelpie lore (spoiler: he’s mostly winging it). Meanwhile, Andy showcases his… extensive knowledge about… well, not very much.Oh, and stick around for some highly technical post-production chat (or, as we like to call it, “two guys pressing buttons until the beeping stops”).So buckle up it’s equal parts mythology, mischief, and make-believe expertise. Welcome back!www.flashfictions.com

Don’t panic—Series 2 starts next week! But first, our intrepid misadventurers finally make it to the location they meant to visit in Episode 2. Better late than never, right?This time, they reflect on their radio days, share stories from the past, and—of course—manage to miss low-flying fighter jets over Loch Katrine (because why record the cool stuff when you can just describe it poorly later?). As always, our boys muddled through in their own uniquely chaotic style.Join them for one last mess-about before the chaos continues in Series 2!www.flashfictions.com

Andy and Scott venture into the lovely lochside village of Luss, where the only thing sharper than the scenery is their ability to dodge talking about it entirely.This week’s distractions include:🤯 Two massive life questions—ones so revealing, we refuse to name them here. (Fine, one might ruin cinema for you forever. The other? Let’s say… choose wisely.)🗺️ A valiant effort to mention Luss—likely derailed by a bad water impression🎙️ The usual vibe: Like eavesdropping on two men who ignored the "be informative" podcast memo.Thanks for listening, and enjoy the ill-informed nature of our 100% correct chatwww.flashfictions.com

oin Andy and Scott—two intrepid explorers with the survival skills of a damp crisp packet—as they embark on an epic, hour-long odyssey to reach the historic Perthshire town of Crieff. Once there, they do what they do best: sit down, vaguely reference the town’s past, and veer wildly off-topic.In this episode:🚽 Andy’s brush with death in a caravan park toilet block (spoiler: it wasn’t the toilets that nearly got him).🎸 Scott’s flashback to Ozzy Osbourne—because why talk about Crieff when you can talk about the Prince of Darkness instead?🏴 Some actual history (probably). Maybe. If they remember.www.flashfictions.com

We meant to talk about travel… but then this happened."Quirky Description:Join Scott and Andy as they wander through the charming streets of Paisley (sort of) and their chaotic minds. What starts as a travel chat quickly spirals into tangents, absurd detours, and the kind of conversations you’d have after one too many cups of coffee (or something stronger). Whether they’re lost in history, lost in banter, or just plain lost, one thing’s for sure they’re always Off On A Wander. Buckle up for a podcast that’s equal parts travel guide and unhinged pub chatwww.flashfictions.com

Scott and Andy, two long-time friends and former radio colleagues, as they record their first podcast episode. Their conversation, initially focused on finding a suitable name for their podcast, quickly meanders through a variety of light-hearted topics. They discuss the origins of words, the nature of offence in comedy, the challenges of writing short stories, and even a funny anecdote from a pub quiz. The duo's primary goal for the podcast is to offer unscripted, humorous chats for listeners seeking a break from serious subjects, inviting audience interaction and feedback for future episodes.www.flashfictions.com
